news should have been telegraphed everywhere throughout the Union except to
his birthplace where the largest part of
his life work was performed. For nearly
a third of a century Dr. Bingham has
been one of Hawaii's most distinguished
citizens. His tall, erect, commanding
figure, his splendid face, his simple upright character, unbending loyalty to conviction, Puritan type of disposition and
quiet useful life have been an inspiration
to all the people of the Territory. The
Islands were proud of a man who had
done what no other person in history had
accomplished anil delighted to witness the
honor paid to him by visiting scholars
and well informed travelers who uniformly wished to come into personal
touch with one who had done so unique
a service to his fellows.

Dr. Bingham while

athletics, having been the hero of the
famous "Bingham kick" which sent the
football from Chapel street clear to the
State House Step*. When he and Mrs.
Bingham landed in Honolulu on their
way to Micronesia the people of this city
remarked upon the splendid physical
equipment of the young couple; he so tall,
straight, finely put up and handsome, she
so thoroughly his counterpart in health
and rare beauty. Their station in the
(iilherts was Apaiang, a low coral island
only a few feet above the sea. Here with
insufficient food, brackish water and inadequate protection from the frightful
heat, exposed to danger and death from
savage islanders, surrounded by most degraded peoples, they labored with cheer-

certainly not a few people among us who
dread exceedingly the fostering of a ship

measure of slavery which we believe to

CAMP IMPROVEMENT.
One
of the problems which ought to
claim the serious attention of the people of the islands is the social and
moral condition of the large foreign
(dement living in the camps.
W'c often bear it said that no punishment to the wicked could be more
fearful than just to leave them to them-
selves, to work out their self-destruction iv a community without the restraints of law or the presence of selfrespecting citizens; and while there is
no community on earth which is quite
so Cod-forsaken as that, we know of
no place on earth which more nearly
approaches this condition than the
camps on these islands unless it be in
the shuns of London or of some of our
American cities. From a business as
well as a moral point of view it is a
crying evil. It is a problem to which
the plantation managers have given
much study, and for the solution of
which they have spent both time and
money, only to meet with results so
discouraging as to make it appear
questionable whether it is not a hope-
less case.
Difficulties.
Speaking of the Japanese alone the
problems of camp improvement are
simply enormous. There is no people
whose customs differ more from ours.
The original meaning of morals was
customs or manners, and a change in
manners and customs is a tremendous
wrench to the mora! nature. Here the
Japanese often cast off their own manners and social customs, and fail to
acquire either the form or spirit of
those which are native to the West.
To speak of the deterioration resulting
from this cause alone would fill a page.
Self-respect is tossed to the winds;
sons of respectable Japanese families
have come here and sunk themselves in
these holes never to be heard from
again in the homes of parents and
friends; and self-respecting parents in
the camps grieve to see their children
being hopelessly drawn into the criminal classes. Professional gamblers and
other bad characters make their round:',

To attempt too much at first would

to larger things. An India missionary

Some time ago a Idler was sent to a

How You Can Help.
We want to secure from friends illustrated papers, beautiful Christmas or
Paster cards and calendars that have
once done duty and arc too pretty to
throw away. If such pictures are available, many a family in the camps may
be induced to buy a few cents worth of
colored cardboard as a mounting for
pictures, with which a few minutes'
work will enable them to make some
very creditable ornaments for their
lionies.
If once a little friendly rivalry in
home-making can be aroused among
the people, not only will it tend, by
producing greater contentment with

goes racing down the street after the

hungry babies. Our endeavors seem

lint we must make the distinction between that which only seems to be wasted, and is really put to its highest use.
and that which is foolishly or criminally

The scientist tells us there is no such
thing as absolute waste. Matter changes
form, but it is never destroyed. If your'

the newspapers would report it as a total
loss. As a home, it may be a total loss
to you: but there is no less matter in the
universe because of the fire. The wood
has simply been changed into ashes, and
gases, and heat. In the great scheme of
the universe, there has been no waste.
So prayers cannot be wasted. Testimonies are never thrown away. Pledgekeeping is never fruitless.
A great deal of money was poured
into China in missionary effort. Then
came the Roxer uprising, and all this
money, and many precious lives that were
sacrificed, seem to have been wasted.
But a little time has proven that judgment to have been a hasty one. Missionary work in China received a new

The Home Department as the name

Sunday School which aims to bring into

There is no longer any excuse for any
one to say, "Everybody belongs to Sunday School but Father." Now father
may belong, even though he does not go.

The Home Department comforts

compelled to be counted out from so

is admirably adapted to reach all such.

3. Appoint Visitors — persons well
adapted to go into the home on the

the quarteries and envelopes, make calls
and enroll new members.

Every child demands special consideration. We have suffered in every wav,

It cannot be done. For the teaching of
certain things which they must know, it

turn out ill because of the laxity which
imagines that a child's happiness consists
in self-pleasing, and in having its own
will. Then- is all the difference between
letting a child have its own will and
training it in its own way. To train a

Once again the Woman's Christian
Temperance L'nion of Honolulu meets
iv this hospitable home, this home ol one
whose noble life is closely interwoven
with the history of Temperance in our
fair I lawaii. We assemble today to hold
the 24th annual meeting. Twenty-four
years ago the W. C. T. 0. met here, acl'l
alcd by the same spirit, inspired by th
same hopes which are ours today. Faitr
fully, steadily the temperance work hi*
moved forward under the continued an I
efficient leadership of its President, Mi-.
Whitney.
The past year has been
crowned with victories throughout the
world. The note of triumph lias been
sounded far and wide, and we rejoice in
the nation's glory; for each victory has
gladdened the hearts of men and women
everywhere. The past year here ill this
little corner has been a good one; slowly,
|>crhaps, but surely we have gained
ground.
We have held ten monthly meetings
during the year, not as largely attended
as we desire. Sometimes we wonder wbv
more women are not intensely interested
in this great work. When we know that
we bold the most potent and efficacious
remedy, we should consider the reformation and cure of the drunkard one of outIn the
most important missions of life.
November meeting, our President gave a
very interesting talk of things that had

Four arguments brought forth in favor
of the saloon and four against. The dis
cussion was led by the President; it
was a very profitable meeting.
At the May and June meetings plans
for the coffee and reading room were
completed. Arion Hall had been secured,
and things were now in readiness lor the

spirit in this enterprise and worked untiringly for its success, and who shall say
it was not successful? We did not have

her devoted spirit to this work.
